Dancing Astronaut’s top 10 underground parties of MMW 2013

Dice Carola

As you may well know, there are literally hundreds of events to choose from during Miami Music Week. Pool parties, after hours, label showcases, rare sets, marathon sets — you name it. Maybe parties like Jacked, Size Matters, and F*ck Me I’m Famous aren’t your cup of tea this year, but the sea of opportunities beyond might seem daunting. This list will serve as your guide. These ten parties (as well as a number of honorable mentions) are the perfect blend of old and new talent, exclusive or stacked lineups, day and night time slots, and a wide variety of venues throughout Downtown and South Beach. These are events that fall outside the realm of your run-of-the-mill DJ set, these are the events that will make Miami Music Week what it is in 2013.

Nick Curly – Piano In The Dark EP

nickycurly

Nick Curly’s Piano In The Dark EP is the second remix package to come off his recent Between The Lines artist album. Fresh off the chart-topping remix from Dennis Ferrer on “Underground,” US-based deep house producer Osunlade provides two outstanding remixes under his Yoruba Soul moniker. The title track on the release, “Piano In The Dark,” is overhauled with a punctual vocal segment, supported by gentle piano keys and soothing percussion work. Osunlade takes a different approach on his dub rework to “Wrong Hands,” constructing a more dance floor-friendly rework with a catchy melody and groovier bass line.
